### **The History of the Lwili-Pende Pattern**
**Lwili-Pende** is a traditional Burkinabe fabric that occupies a central place in the country's cultural identity. It is recognizable by its black, red, and white colors, as well as its swallows or doves, which symbolize rebirth and freedom.
This motif was popularized during the independence of Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso), where it was worn by women during official ceremonies. Its origin is debated, with some attributing it to influences from Senegal or Niger. Today, it is a symbol of national pride, used in both fashion and decoration.
With this set of plates, you can add a piece of history and tradition to your daily life, while enhancing your meals with a refined and authentic aesthetic.
